I just installed an extra 2GB of RAM in my PC bringing the total to 4GB. My
BIOS is picking up the 4GB of RAM but vista says that I only have 3GB
installed. Any suggestions. I thought Vista supported up to 4GB
 
Thanks for your help. Is there better driver support for Vista 64-bit than
XP 64-bit. That is the main reason that I didn't purchase the xp version.
 
Not exactly. 32bit Windows supports up to a maximum 4GB of addressable
memory. But that does not equate to 4GB of addressable RAM. The upper 800MB
or so is reserved for hardware paging of devices and such, and can't be used
for RAM.
 
What motherboard do you have that shows all 4GB in the BIOS? I'm running
WIndows Vista 64-bit and it is my BIOS that is supposed to show all 4GB but
only shows 3.2GB. Therefore Windows Vista x64 only sees 3.2GB. I'm pretty
sure it's the motherboard...older Asus P5AD2-E Premium.
 
I am using a Asus M2N32-Deluxe SLI and now that I put x64bit version it shows
4 Gigs of Ram. I still feel that it is false advertising on Microsofts part.
 
Yawn!

Is MS advertising somewhere that you can have full access to 4GB on a
32bit OS?
